The clear I am pretty sure. I had my hood re-cleared but the cracks were still there. Not sure if they didn't sand down enough or?? But now the clear is peeling after about a year. Thanks, I think it looks pretty cool. Like a dry carbon or something. Will be interesting to see how long these last.

I got got mine from ebay too. I got it from a guy in Montreal, his ebay name is Jolifilm i think.
Here is one of his auctions, he sells in different qty's, just click on his other auctions link and you'll see the rest. Good prices and reasonable shipping cost.

when you are covering the wing for example, how do you mate the ends of the edges of the wrap?
also, how do you all think this would hold up outside, in the snow?

Nah I don't think it would hide them, you would still see the impressions once the stuff was laid down and stuck

Bondo and seal the roof first, then wrap it to make it look pretty.

just got some wrap... first impression was good. the looks it spot on. Maybe im just not good with my hands but i dont find it as easy to work with as you all say. Here is my first project. I did it once, didnt like to so i ripped it all off and did it again.
Im going to save enough to try and cover my roof... just want to get a little better with the stuff before i go that far.

Hey everyone using this stuff, i have a consern... can it be removed if it starts to look ugly? I read this, and it worries me, that if i do my roof and then is 2-3 years i want to remove it, it might lift my paint or damage something... what do you think?
-------------------------
DI-NOC architectural finishes may be removable, but it is also possible that it may damage the substrate underneath. DI-NOC should generally be considered a permanent application. If Primer94 is used (which we recommend for installation), it should not be expected to be removed without substrate damage since it’s an adhesion promoter. 3M lists the following steps for removal tips:
The following removal techniques can be tried, but the effort and results will vary.
1.Make cuts in the film about 4 inches apart, making sure not to damage the substrate.
2.Use a hair drier or heat gun set to 200F to soften the film’s adhesive.
3.Immediately pull the film down at about a 150 degree angle.
4.Heat more of the film and continuing pulling.

I wouldnt, if you have something that is already real CF you should take the time / energy to re-clear it properly. This stuff it nice, but i wouldnt use it to cover up an already nice CF piece
